I like the format of double elimination regions and consolation bracket for State. With the school year wound down, it is time for HS Sports to be done to make room for the summer schedule. You earn your trip to State with double elimination, and then it is "once and done". It could be just me, but I like it.

Unlike most sports, NDHSAA doesn't require baseball regions to even hold a regional tournament. They just want a region rep at the state tournament. Funny that when large amounts of profit aren't involved the NDHSAA couldn't care less...
